The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the outlook for Riviere de Galets.
Alright, we’re in for a slow start. The first real surfable day doesn’t show up until Monday the 10th of August. Friday and Saturday are a total mess – cross-onshore winds at 18 mph and choppy junk. Sunday’s nothing to write home about either. So you’ve got a few days to wait.
The big highlight is Monday morning, the 10th of August. Swell hits 10ft from the East with a 9-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the ENE at 15 mph. The water is 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s some serious juice for the reef and point, with strong wave energy (1976) – but 10ft East swell is a beast, so this is for the experienced crew only. The wind and tide are lining up for clean, powerful lines. Crowds can be around sometimes, but a Monday morning might keep it light.
Come Saturday the 15th of August, the afternoon brings a 8ft SSW swell with a super long 19-second period, and the energy is huge (5969). That’s groundswell from deep water. The wind is cross-on from the ESE at 15 mph, so it’s choppy and the forecast calls it poor. The power is there, but the surface won’t be clean. If the wind drops, that long-period SSW could be a gem for the point.
The rest of the window is average. Tuesday the 11th through Thursday the 13th keeps 7ft to 8ft East swell, but the wind stays cross-shore and lumpy. Energy is moderate to strong (around 1600-2000). You’ll get waves, but not the best shape.
From the 17th of August onward, the swell drops to 3ft to 6ft, with cross-on or cross-shore winds and chop. The energy fades into the weak range (under 1000). The last few days are small and messy with fresh cross-winds. Nothing to get excited about.
So, the standout is Monday the 10th of August morning for the big, clean East swell, but it’s experts only. The rest is patchy, so keep an eye on the wind.
Rusty.
